Organic cocoa powder, 125 g, RawBoost

Criollo cocoa is the best quality cocoa with a very low caffeine content. Also called the ``food of the gods'', cocoa was for a long time the currency of exchange instead of gold (for the Mayans and Aztecs). Raw cocoa beans contain over 300 different chemical compounds beneficial for the human organism. It is the richest source of antioxidants in the world (polyphenols, catechins, epicatechins), minerals (the most important source of organic magnesium in the world, 9 g of cocoa contain the recommended daily dose of iron, chromium, manganese, zinc, copper), vitamins , tryptophan and tryptamine serotonin (substances that improve mood) and omega 6 fatty acids.

Few people know the extraordinary benefits that raw cocoa beans can bring to the whole body. Since cocoa is sold in a processed state (chocolate), it only brings to the body 10% of the nutritional qualities of the raw one. For example, one of the amino acids abundant in raw cocoa, tryptophan, is completely destroyed at the boiling point. Another component, phenylethylamine (a class of chemical substances also produced by the body when we fall in love, with an important role in amplifying lucidity and the power of concentration) is destroyed in the process of roasting cocoa beans. Omega 6 is one of the very beneficial fatty acids, but which cannot be synthesized by the human body, found in raw cocoa. In processed cocoa, omega 6 goes rancid and can cause inflammatory reactions in the body.

The only food in which anandamide was discovered (an endorphin that the human body produces after physical exercises, also known as the ``substance of happiness'') is raw cocoa. Cocoa also contains a series of chemicals that prevent inflammation of the walls of blood vessels. Being an enormous source of antioxidants, cocoa potentiates the beneficial effects of medicinal plants and mushrooms. Studies on cocoa have shown that it remains the best natural product when it comes to weight loss and energy. As for taste, it has a special affinity with maca, a superfood consumed especially for its aphrodisiac properties.
